166. Perfectionism, Orthorexia and Learning to Live in the Gray w/ Sabrina Magnan

Full & Thriving: A Mental Health and Personal Development Podcast

Is your pursuit of perfection harming your well-being?

In this episode, Meg talks with Sabrina as she shares her journey from being a high-level synchronized swimmer, focused on perfectionism and body image issues, to becoming a holistic health coach. She discusses the struggles of living with perfectionism and the negative impacts it had on her life, including the development of orthorexia. Sabrina highlights the importance of self-love, awareness, and living in the 'gray' zone, emphasizing flexibility and long-term well-being over short-term perfection. She also provides practical advice on practicing self-compassion, reframing negative thoughts, and creating a balanced, sustainable approach to life and recovery.
